02 Integumentary System

This activity reviews the anatomy and functions of the integumentary system, including differentiating thick and thin skin, classifying burns by depth, and describing the phases of wound healing. Students will learn about the skin layers traversed during venipuncture and discuss acne in terms of causes and treatment. The objectives are for students to review the skin and its accessory structures, differentiate burn classifications, and describe wound healing processes.

Activity 3
The INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM

I. Introduction
The organs of the integumentary system include the skin and its
accessory structures-hair, nails, and glands, as well as blood vessels,
muscles and nerves.. The integument can also be thought of as a
cutaneous membrane that covers the outer surface of the body. It is the
largest organ by surface area and weight. Its area is about 2 square meters
(22 square feet) and weighs 4.5–5kgs (10–11 lbs), about 16% of body
weight. It is 0.5–4 mm thick, thinnest part is on the eyelids and the thickest
is on the heels. We lose almost a kg of skin epithelium a year that becomes
a major part of household “dust”. (Tortora and Derrickson, 2011)

II. Objectives:
At the end of this activity, the students will be able to
1. review the following:
a. Anatomy of the Skin

142
b. Function of each part
c. Accessory structures of the skin;
2. differentiate thick from thin skin microscopically; and
3. classify burns based on depth and body surface area (BSA).

III. Materials:
References in Anatomy and Physiology and Histology

skin. At least 5 major difference
